Stephen A. Smith Slams Democrats for Falling for Trump’s Tactics Once More
“You’re playing right into his hands,” Stephen A. Smith declared, dissecting the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address during his show on Wednesday.
On “Straight Shooter with Stephen A.,” the outspoken sports commentator criticized the Democratic Party for their predictable responses to Trump’s provocations. He highlighted a moment when Trump challenged Congress to stand in support of prioritizing American citizens over what he termed “illegal aliens.” The refusal of many Democrats to engage, Smith argued, was a strategic blunder.
“He’s orchestrating this narrative that you’re so consumed by your disdain for him that you’ve lost sight of what’s best for America,” Smith explained. “Every time you react emotionally, he revels in it, mocking you while he gains the upper hand.”
Smith made it clear that his critique should not be misconstrued as personal bias. “Don’t shoot the messenger,” he urged. “If you want to blame someone, look in the mirror. The man has been outsmarting you for over a decade, and yet here we are.”
In a broader context, Smith also touched on the Democrats’ consideration of boycotting the State of the Union, echoing his sentiments from a previous episode. “At some point, there needs to be maturity in this discourse,” he stated. “If you’re going to act as immaturely as you accuse him of being, how can you claim any moral superiority?”
His remarks resonate with a growing frustration among some political commentators regarding the effectiveness of Democratic strategies against Trump’s tactics. Smith’s candid observations challenge party members to rethink their approach and consider how their actions are perceived by the public.
For those interested in his unfiltered take on current events, “Straight Shooter With Stephen A.” continues to provide a platform for such discussions.
